Psilocybin is an amazing substance for neuroplasticity. Granted it’s illegal in a lot of places but for those that are interested look up microdosing. All the benefits without the “trip”.
It’s becoming less taboo in professional circles.
Eagerly awaiting the yoga /guitar video.

If this is so good for learning guitar shouldn’t it be in Grade 1, module 1?
I’ve just told my wife that if she sees me doing a handstand around the house its part of learning the guitar. Her look was priceless!!
Even if this doesn’t work, I’ll have better balance!

OK I tried this and it seems to help. Too early to tell. Maybe too much stuff from the 60’s up there. But I had a humorous experience. I was trying to balance on one leg then the other when my spouse and cat entered the practice room. I haven’t heard her laugh like that in 20 years and the cat, well… poor guy wasn’t sure whether to attack me or run. Freaked him right out.

Justin said he doesn’t recommend playing guitar while trying to stand upside down - but I didn’t hear him say not to try it while standing on one leg. Looks like my next evening is planned!
I tried the balancing exercise that Justin recommended when he first posted the lesson, but I didn’t get much out of it.
However, what I DID get a lot of benefit from was the technique I’m linking here. I don’t know if it helps neuroplasticity, but it certainly involves balance, and improved my sense of rhythm tremendously.
I tried the eyes closed trick mentioned several years ago and can’t make it past a few seconds and I spend too much time restarting. Eyes open has minimal corrections which I assume is less helpful in releasing chemicals. I found that by closing one eye the loss of depth perception hits a challenging sweet spot of errors and corrections.
